How to Enable or Disable Copilot Chat Saving in Windows 11

This guide shows you how to turn the “Automatically save chats” feature on or off in Windows 11.

Why use this feature?

Copilot is an AI assistant that helps you change settings or ask questions. By default, it saves your conversation history so you can see your past chats on any device where you are signed in. You might want to turn this off if you value your privacy or prefer that your history is not synced across multiple computers.

What happens when you are done?

Once you change this setting, your chat history will either be saved to your account or stop being recorded. If you turn it off, you will no longer see your previous chats on other devices, and the “Personalization” setting will also be disabled.

Copilot is a helpful tool that acts like a chatbot. You can open it by clicking its icon or using the Windows key + C shortcut. Recent updates have made it act more like a regular app, meaning you can move or resize the window Copilot button will appear on the Taskbar.. It is now a flexible experience pinned to the taskbar.

How to change your chat saving settings

Follow these steps to adjust your preferences:

1. First, open the Copilot app.
2. Click your profile picture or the “Sign in” icon at the top right corner of the Copilot window.

• Select Settings from the menu.
• Click on Chat.

On the Chat settings page, you will see a box labeled “Automatically save chats.”

• To turn it on: Check the box.
• To turn it off: Uncheck the box.

That is all there is to it!

Summary

By default, Windows 11 saves your Copilot chat history so you can access it anywhere. If you want more privacy, you can easily turn this feature off in the app settings. Turning it off stops your history from syncing across your devices and disables the personalization feature.
